December 5th
"I mean should I even go? I barely know the guy." Maggie ranted nervously.
"Maggie, you and Winston have been talking for months and you knew him prior to the reconnection. I think it's sweet he invited you to spend Christmas with his family."
"Yeah, yeah your right." Maggie reassured while going to lay down on the attendings lounge couch. "Wait, but what about Richard, and Meredith, and the kids. We always spend Christmas together."
"Richard has his wife, and he's usually working in the first place. And I think Meredith is taking the kids to Switzerland to spend Christmas."
"Switzerland?" Maggie asked sitting up.
"Apparently, I saw her looking at plane tickets to Switzerland for the week of Christmas." Amelia confessed, she found it shocking as well. But she knew the kids, were a bit older now and could handle a long flight.
"So what are you guys going to do?"
"I'm not sure yet, Link and I haven't talked about plans yet."
"Do you two ever plan anything?" Maggie asked jokingly.
"Hmm, I guess we don't." Amelia chuckled.

"Oh, Amelia I was looking for you." Meredith called out as she saw Amelia walk into a scrub room.
"What's up?" Amelia asked as she stated running the water.
"Your mother called-"
"Oh god."
"And asked me if you changed your number because she's been trying to call you. She wants to invite you three to go to New York for Christmas." To this Amelia groaned, the last thing she wanted to do was spend Christmas with her judgmental family.
"Are you going?"
"God no." Meredith chuckled. "I never even went when Derek was alive. And the kids and I are going to go see Cristina."
"Really?" Even though she knew the general surgeons plans, she was still kind of shocked to hear it out loud.
"Yeah the kids miss her, and I miss her. And maybe we'll go skiing that's a Christmassy thing normal people do right?""
"Right. Are the kids excited?"
"They don't know yet so don't mention anything." Meredith said while she exited the scrub room.

"Your phones ringing." Link said as he skillfully chopped carrots.
"I know." Amelia said as she swayed to the music that they had playing with her son.
"Your not going to get it?"
"Nope. It's just my mother."
"Oh okay." Link replied, confused. He knew that her relationship with her mother was rocky, but since her pregnancy with Scout they had gotten closer and started to forgive. He decided to let it go, when Amelia was ready to talk about she'd talk about it.
"Link, look at how cute he is." Amelia whispered referring to the baby who was sound asleep on his mother chest, the swaying had lulled him to sleep.
"He is the cutest." Link turned around leaning against the counter. "I'm surprised he fell asleep, he's been having trouble going to sleep recently."
"I'm gonna go put him on his crib." Once she was done tucking their son in she joined her boyfriend in the kitchen so they could eat together. After they finished eating and cleaning the kitchen they went to get ready for bed.
